Trump falls ill and simultaneously 8 senior figures in his administration have a General Hague "I am in control" moment.

The question is not "How do we save the world?"

The question is "How did you spend your time in the final days?"

Is there any outrage over this at all? Are people angry, or is it just me? Is the populace just as pissed off about this, or are they ignorant? Are we truly alone in this?

Over President of the United States, Donald Trump? Of course, but he's not going away. The pissed off, angry repudiation of Trump needed to happen at the polls but it didn't. Everything that that makes him what he is, what we've all witnessed, has to an extent already become normalized in our society, and it will more so as time goes on. That fight is already lost.

The focus has to shift to basically using the exact same tactics the Republicans used forcefully after 2008: Gridlock as much as possible and focus on making Trump a 1 term president.

Donald Trump spends his presidency on the golf course, leaving the important duties of running the country to his top three advisors. All three hate each other and will begin the backstabbing almost immediately.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.
and the first step is made toward's trump and pence actually getting roe v wade overturned: Indiana Lawmaker Intends to Introduce Total Abortion Ban

quote:

A lawmaker in Indiana intends to introduce a bill in January that would criminalize abortion in all cases, including when the mother’s life is at risk.

When the General Assembly convenes, State Representative Curt Nisly will move forward with his “Protection at Contraception” legislation, which would allow for the criminal prosecution of any woman who obtained an abortion and any doctor that assisted her.

While the law would surely be considered unconstitutional, Nisly argues that by the time the case would get to the Supreme Court, the makeup of the justices might allow for the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Indiana has a record of passing extreme anti-abortion legislation. In June, a federal judge placed a preliminary injunction on two Indiana laws, one that attempted to outlaw abortions performed solely because of a fetus’s genetic abnormality, and another that attempted to ban abortions performed on the basis of the fetus’s race or sex.

Indiana is also the state that imprisoned Purvi Patel, the first woman in the country to have been convicted of feticide for self-inducing an abortion. Her 20 year sentence was recently overturned by the Indiana Court of Appeals and she was released from prison in September.

Media Resources: Indianapolis Star 11/17/16; New York Times 6/30/16; Feminist Majority Foundation 9/1/16.

not even trying to hide it anymore, just straight up "we know it's unconstitutional, we just think that the court will be more favorable to us by the time it makes it to a supreme court case"

So should we include being pro-choice in the Democratic Party messaging for 2018 and 2020? Or does that get too far away from the "identity free" economic populism?

it's important to note that the minnesota lawsuit by the aggrieved dipshit mother against her transgender daughter is on the same trajectory. if justice roberts wakes up on the wrong side of the bed a year down the line, liberty is dead.

So wait a minute.

Guy disparages the entire military as one block. I respond saying that's hosed up. Different guy (your damsel in distress) chimes in arguing a completely different point, says he's muslim and that his friends from the military say racist poo poo and therefore [stupid generalizations]. A fourth guy points out the use of a commonly disparaged
tactic of saying "My [category] friends..." and claiming a false expertise.

And then you chime in to post that? What the hell?

Well, we have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.
